ZD-6126 (previously known as ANG-453) is a vascular-targeting agent in clinical development for the treatment of solid tumors. ZD-6126 binds to and inhibits tubulin. ZD6126 completed phase I clinical trial in 2008, where was found significant cardiotoxicities. The further development of this drug was terminated.

Terlakiren (also known as CP80794) is a cysteinamide derivative patented by Pfizer Inc. as potent renin inhibitor. Terlakirens inhibitory potency against plasma renin of guinea pigs, dogs, and monkeys ranges from 0.3 to 0.7 nM. In preclinical models, Terlakiren caused significantly greater increases in renal blood flow and suppressed renin activity to a greater degree than captopril.

Sodium sulfanilate is a salt of sulphanilic acid and has been used to monitor the degree of renal dysfunction in dogs.

Patupilone is a compound isolated from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum. Similar to paclitaxel, Patupilone induces microtubule polymerization and stabilizes microtubules against depolymerization conditions. In addition to promoting tubulin polymerization and stabilization of microtubules, this agent is cytotoxic for cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein, a characteristic that distinguishes it from the taxanes. Epothilone B may cause complete cell-cycle arrest. Patupilone failed a phase III trial for ovarian cancer in 2010.

Colimecycline is an antibiotic of the tetracycline group.

Mideplanin (MDL 62873), a teicoplanin amide derivative, was studied as an antibacterial agent against Gram-positive bacteria. However, further, development appears to have been discontinued.

Vinleurosine is a vinca alkaloid found in species of Catharanthus. This compound was studied as an anticancer agent and participated in clinical trials. However, the drug was more toxic and unpredictable in effect in comparison with vinblastine. Its further development was discontinued.

Squalamine is a steroid-polyamine conjugate compound with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and anti-angiogenic activity. Squalamine selectively inhibits new blood vessel formation; this activity is thought to be mediated through inhibition of the sodium-hydrogen antiporter sodium-proton exchangers (specifically the NHE3 isoform) causing inhibition of hydrogen ion efflux from endothelial cells, with subsequent reduction of cellular proliferation. Studies in tumor-bearing mice have shown that squalamine inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in xenograft models of lung, breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer and in brain and breast allograft tumor models in rats. Squalamine also has been shown to prevent lung metastases in the murine Lewis lung carcinoma model, both as a single agent and in combination with various other chemotherapeutics. Squalamine does not appear to have substantial direct effects on primary tumor growth in animal models when administered as a single agent. However, enhanced antitumor responses are observed when squalamine is administered in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents when compared with cytotoxic agents used alone. Squalamine was studied as a potential cancer drug and as a potential treatment for wet macular degeneration but as of 2018 had not succeeded in Phase III trials for any use.

Pantenicate was developed as an antihyperlipidemic agent. Information about the further development of this drug is not available.

Rocastine (AHR-11325) is a potent, nonsedating antihistamine with a rapid onset of action. This H1-antagonist effectively protected guinea pigs challenged with a lethal dose of histamine. It has also been mentioned in patents as a candidate to treat eye conditions and cough/cold mixtures (in which the lack of sedative effects from a non-sedating antihistamine would be especially useful in children, because daytime sedation is especially undesirable in this group). However, information on current use is not available and other second-generation, non-sedative antihistamines are available.
